Vladimir Putin to send Russian children to North Korean summer camps
Yahoo/The Telegraph ^ | June 30, 2024 | James Kilner

Vladimir Putin plans to send Russian children to a summer camp in North Korea where activities include polishing the statues of leaders.

Grigory Gurov, the head of Putin’s Movement of the First youth organisation, announced the plan despite opposition from worried Russian parents.

“We will now form our delegation,” he said. “Conditions there are good.”

The children will be the first Russian group for five years to visit the Songdowon camp, built on North Korea’s eastern shore by dictator Kim Jong-un’s grandfather in 1960.

Accounts from Russian adult leaders on previous trips described Songdowon camp as a cross between a boarding house with regular blackouts, dawn wake-ups and roll calls, and a Disney-themed water park.

Samsonov described a tightly packed day that included enforced exercise, state-approved lessons, cleaning and a disco. As for the food, he said “they always give you soup, rice, potatoes”.

The initiative is the latest sign of blossoming relations between the two countries.

North Korea has become a vital arms supplier for the Kremlin since Kim visited Russia last year. The country is thought to have sent five million artillery shells and dozens of missiles to bolster the forces against Ukrain.

When Putin visited Pyongyang, the capital, last month to sign a military pact and to give Kim a luxury car, he also promised to send children from the Movement of the First to the Songdowon camp.

You’re a one issue nut. Meloni is a conservative.

Dictators appreciate other dictators. I’m sure Putin envies the absolute power the dictator family of NK has over all things. Putin is just an old communist dictator without the absolute power he desires. He needs to indoctrinate the Russian youth if he wishes to make Russia a communist nation again.

For a minute, I thought it was a Babylon Bee article. Who would let their kids go to North Korea for the summer?

Blame the USA — its false flaggers, sanctions, and 2014 Ukrainian coup — for this alliance.

The “leader of a Christian country” sending his countries children to indoctrination camps in a Communist dictatorship, demonstrating again just how “Christian” he is. /sarc

Italian Premier Meloni describes Putin’s cease-fire offer for Ukraine as ‘propaganda’
BORGO EGNAZIA, Italy (AP) — Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni on Saturday dismissed a cease-fire offer for Ukraine by Russian President Vladimir Putin as “propaganda,” as she wrapped up a Group of Seven summit that saw a deal reached for a $50 billion loan to Ukraine.

Italy’s PM: If Russia hadn’t invaded Ukraine, Hamas wouldn’t have carried out Oct. 7
“If Russia had not invaded Ukraine, in all likelihood Hamas would not have launched such an attack against Israel,” she said in an interview with Italy’s Il Giornale newspaper, referring to the onslaught in which terrorists killed some 1,200 people and kidnapped 253 to Gaza.

“It was inevitable that such a serious violation of international law, moreover at the hands of a permanent member of the UN Security Council, would have cascading consequences on other areas of the world, from the Middle East to the Balkans, up to Africa,” Meloni said.

“This is the game we are playing, and we must be aware. If international legality is not re-established in Ukraine, the outbreaks of conflict will continue to multiply,” she added.

It is the same alliance it has always been, nothing new really.

Russia will probably send kidnapped Ukranian kids that they have rebranded as Russian.

Voting in Amerika has become a joke. We cheat and steal and select the winner just like every other turd world country. Eighty years ago, LBJ had his Box 13.

Meh...I’m just pointing out how the neo-liberal scum you stan for operate.

Meloni and her supporters were labelled Putin puppets by the European establishment long before and immediately after she was elected...now she’s just controlled opposition within the French-German EU axis.

Meloni knows EU funding keeps Italy afloat and what price she must pay to keep the spigot turned on.

So you made a childish lie to deliver a personal insult for no reason, and also admit that you made a deliberately misleading post about Italy’s support for Russia, and of course you deny that Italy’s Prime Minister can have a real view on Russia launching this major European war, and must be doing it against what she really thinks.

I should have known that post 52 would cause the same old reaction from you.

The Meloni administration is a huge change for Italy. And she’s very popular. She isn’t doing enough by your standard. Ok.
